It is an ordinary problem that people normally face: the Frigidaire oven does not heat up properly. This blog guide will help you find and resolve such a problem. It covers all the problems that can cause heating issues and will provide solutions according to them. So if your Frigidaire oven isn’t heating enough, Here is what to do:

Here is what to do when your Frigidaire oven is not heating up properly. Follow these steps to find the problem and solution to get rid of your Frigidaire oven heating problem.
Power supply.
First, you should check the power supply cable and Voltage meter. If your power cable is damaged, it can cause a voltage drop in your appliance. Also, check the voltage meter as an elective oven requires 240V power, and a gas oven requires almost 120V to heat up properly. Any less than this, this amount of alternate current can become a reason your Frigidaire oven isn’t operating accurately.
To check the amount of voltage your oven is getting, follow these steps:
- If you find out that your oven isn’t even on, plug it into any other socket to check if the faulty socket needs to be repaired or restored. Also, check if the circuit breaker is working accurately.
- If your oven is getting a current supply, it uses a voltage meter or a multimeter and tests the power supply to ensure it contains the voltage required to work correctly.
- If the power supply check shows the required voltage deliverance, as mentioned 240V for electric and 120V for gas oven, you can move to the next step. Power socket replacement is required if it’s not showing that amount of voltage.
- After changing the socket, turn on your oven and check if it’s heating correctly. If not, then follow the next step.
If this initial step isn’t the reason for your Frigidaire oven heating problem, follow the steps mentioned below to resolve it. (First three are for the gas oven, and the last three steps refer to the electric oven.)
- Igniter.
If the power supply seems fine and your Frigidaire gas oven is still not working, you must look igniter first. It is a device that lights the burner; your oven will not heat up if it doesn’t work.
- Start by lighting each burner of your gas oven in case one more doesn’t light. Then it refers to some problem with the igniter.
- Turn off the power and gas supply, and disassemble the igniter from the wires using a multimeter to check the continuity.
- If it fails the test, place a new one and then check whether the oven is now heating perfectly, in case it doesn’t move to the next step.
- Broil spark electrode.
The broil spark electrode is the next piece of equipment that needs to be inspected as it is responsible for lightening broilingangerr broil spark so it can provide heat. If it doesn’t operate accurately, your oven will not ignite and heat up.
- Turn off the gas and power supply.
- Boil sparks are beside the burner. Once found, look if it’s damaged or overused and replace it with a new one. If it’s OK, disassemble it from all the connected wires.
- Use a multimeter to see its continuity. If it fails, go for renewal; if it passes, move to the next step.
- If you change the broil spark electrode, turn on the oven and see if it’s working accurately.
- Safety valves.
Safety valves respond to the supply of gas to the oven when opened. Your oven won’t heat up if the safety valve is damaged or faulty.
- Turn off the gas and power supply.
- Locate the safety valve and disassemble it. Use a multimeter to see the continuity.
- If it fails the continuity test, replace it. If it passes, move to step 5. Step 4 is for the electric oven.
- Check if your oven works correctly if you have replaced a safety valve.
- Heating element.
Suppose you own an Electric Frigidaire oven and find the problem of heating. In that case, there is more likely a problem with the heating or baking element as it is the main part that converts energy into heat so it can be responsible for this problem.
- Turn off the power and remove the shield of the baking element, if there is one, so you can see it.
- Now connect your oven to power and set it to the highest heat.
- Now look at the heating element. If it’s not turning flashing red, then it is the faulty one and needs to be replaced.
- To ensure that its heat elementmississ faulty, use a multimeter to see the continuity before replacing it.
- If it passes the continuity test, there seems to be another problem; if not, replace it. Now after replacement, see if your oven is now heating up properly.
- Thermal fuse.
In this step, you are advised to inspect the thermal fuse of your electric Frigidaire oven, as it is the one which controls the heat in your oven and regulates it. If it is not working correctly or is faulty, it can cause a drop in heat or overheating problem.
- Turn off the electric or gas supply first
- Find the thermal fuse and then reassemble it from the oven.
- Test it with a multimeter and test the continuity. If it doesn’t pass the test, replace it.
- Once it is replaced, turn on your Frigidaire oven and check if it’s working accurately if not, follow the next step.
- In Cas,s there isn’t any problem with the thermal fuse moving to the next step.
- Control board.
If all the steps mentioned above still don’t resolve the problem, it is advised to substitute the control board, which is costly, so call a professional for inspection first.
After following these steps, you can easily find the resulting heating problem with your Frigidaire oven, which can be easily fixed. In case you are still not able to find the cause or solution. You can contact your nearest Frigidaire assistance or a certified professional for an inspection.
